Long time no see. Been away from expediting for years and now that I have a little bit of money saved up thought about looking into buying a promaster. And damn, there like 60-70k new now. When I was doing it they were like half of that. I'd imagine rates have not gone up enough to reflect...

Turtle thanks I'll look into getting that. Still stand behind that's a ridiculous requirement tho LDB yeah expediting first. If otherwise you could just stay home and door dash. But I think if you're in a situation where you know you're going to most likely be sitting, could be a nice extra...

Oh and it can be good money depending on where you are. Like I said I've been doing it a few months and I'm a myrtle beach which is touristy, and when I first started it was kinda slow because still winter, but now it's starting to pick up. Last week I made a decent bit over a grand working...

Well first of all youre assuming Door dash has any sorta professionalism like expediting does. It doesnt. Door dash orders are normally a few miles and you can pick and choose. The cost of gas/income game that's with expediting is not as important with door dash. But yeah you are right you'd...

Also very sorry to hear that happened to you hope youre feeling better now

Definitely the first time I've heard of rideshare insurance. That's some capitalistic BS. What possibly changes about an accident because I have a damn pinini in the passenger seat. I have million dollar cargo insurance but now I gotta get special coverage for baked goods. Wtf. But I...

This may be a stupid question, I tried searching but couldn't find anything. Other than Turtle talking about how he does it staying home now, so maybe you have some thoughts on it. Is there any reason why you couldn't door dash if you're just sitting waiting for a load in a sprinter...

I'm looking to get back into expediting for class B straight truck. I posted in the classifieds looking for a team mate but wanna know if there's any other options? If you call the carriers is that something they usually help with? Btw from South Carolina, do not need home time aside from...

I was planning on going back to expediting earlier this year, looking for spot in straight truck for a fleet owner, and then covid happened. So I decided to wait. Things have seemed to.... stabilize sorta. Things seem a bit busier. Soo.... Hows freight?

Yeah I hope so too but it's definately not a guarantee. To be fair, it hasn't really been sustained temps of over 80 most places yet. But that's still secondary. Just wondering what y'all thought hypothetically. Biggest problem is everyone not taking it seriously if you ask me. Especially...

So let's say this all clears up with the warmer weather, there's a lot of evidence showing it doesn't transmit or survive as well in higher temps and humidity.... With all the shutdowns happening now, would it be a semi intelligent assumption July won't be as slow as usual?

And when that happens, who is going to own all these vehicles to create this huge conglomerate of self driving vehicles located everywhere? Will it be the same deal as now where a company owns so many trucks and they bid on loads to send the truck to? How much will the trucks stops charge to...

One thing to keep in mind with self driving vehicles, they will require pre planning for their deliveries. It's not the same as oh :censoredsign: we forgot to send these 2 pallets we need someone to take them right now, or oh no this machine broke we need a replacement part asap, etc.

Im working on finishing mine, except it's through Google sheets. I'm pretty proud of it, just gotta figure out the formulas for my analytics section. Most of what I did was inspired by a YouTuber (who hasn't put out anything in a while) everything apax. Just search apax expediting and he...

Im waiting for another few financials releases still showing them bleeding money and their stock around 20 or 15 then im buying in. Theyll get their act together eventually.

Make sure you keep a case on that z3 my screen went totally dead the first time i dropped mine. Lesson learned....

By only doing it when you are in a risky place, that you also got extra money going into. Never once have i just run for 20 cents over period. What im talking about is risk management. Also, you should have a maintnance and repair fund as part of your operating costs in my opinion. I do 3 cents...

Dont get me wrong you DEFINATELY need to figure out what sorta salary you need, but i just dont include it in my cost per mile is all. I look at my bottom line and say ok i made this much i need this much for personal stuff so this is how much i can put back into the business. And yes youll...

My cost per mile is based my total expenses per month, insurance, van payment, total gas, what i put away for my repair and maintnance fund, etc.....all divided by the total odometer miles for the time period, thats loaded miles, relocation, deadhead, etc. Im not just calculating my loaded...
